As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen bodyguards in black uniforms swarmed over and surrounded Zhao Quan.

Zhao Quan had always been pampered and spoiled since childhood, and he never expected to be humiliated like this by the spoiled son of a bankrupt group in such a setting.

He immediately looked towards the private room on the second floor and said unhappily, "Chairman Chen, is Chu Xiao now in charge of Tiandu Winery?"

Upon hearing this, the guests who were on good terms with Zhao Qian immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"The items auctioned at Tiandu Auction are priceless, so it's normal for people to question them. Why make such a big fuss?"

"I think Chu Xiao is deliberately trying to make Zhao Quan unhappy. Haven't you heard? Zhao Quan's brother had a conflict with Chu Xiao a while ago. He's just taking revenge."

"What right does he have to settle personal scores? This is Chen family territory. He's just a seller; does he think he can fly to the sky?"

"..."

Seeing so many people standing on his side, Zhao Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

I think the Chen Group would never kick him out for a joke.

Unexpectedly, laughter came from upstairs from Chairman Chen:

"Chu Xiao is now a formal partner of Chen's Group Auction Company, and he has the right to do whatever he wants."

These words stunned not only Zhao Quan but also Cao Moran.

It's one thing for Chu Xiao to be a VIP of the Chen family, but he's also a partner of the Chen family?

She was just questioning Chu Xiao with Zhao Quan.

Thinking it over, she immediately turned around, walked up to Chu Xiao, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu. I was misled by Zhao Quan's words and said the wrong thing. You won't blame me, will you?"

She held her head high, her beautiful fox-like eyes sparkling, and her slightly forward-leaning chest revealed a large expanse of snow-white skin.

Everyone turned to look.

Although everyone present was a wealthy businessman, they were still divided into different classes.

Cao Moran is a first-rate prodigy. If one could become her son-in-law, he would surely dominate the business world in the future.

Unexpectedly, Cao Moran took the initiative to act cute and charming towards Chu Xiao, causing an uproar among the crowd, with all sorts of ambiguous glances falling on Chu Xiao.

Most of them had daggers hidden in their eyes, wishing they could stab him three times and leave six holes in his face.

"Miss Cao has already apologized in person, what more does Chu Xiao want? Is he going to be unforgiving even when he's in the right?"

"How would this naive young man know what kind of person Miss Cao is in S City?"

"Look at his smug face, he got the benefit but is still acting innocent. I really don't know how he caught Chairman Chen's eye. Is it just because he has a few big paintings?"

Ignoring the jeers of the crowd, Chu Xiao simply brushed aside Cao Moran's outstretched hand, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I don't blame you for being so good. Spend the night with me?"

Cao Moran's charming smile gradually turned wicked.

She turned her head to face Chu Xiao's profile, quickly sticking out her soft tongue and circling it around his earlobe, her voice hot and breathy as she said, "Little brother is so handsome. I can play with you, but you have to be able to handle the fun."

Chu Xiao was caught off guard by this sudden move and felt a jolt all over his body.

Damn, this guy is a complete lunatic!

Just then, Chu Xiao's phone, which had been silent all night, vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw a message from Gu Siming.

Gu Siming said that a large group of shareholders and investors stormed into the Chu Group, smashed up the group's offices, and even called the police to sue Chu Xiao for fraud.

Chu Xiao was speechless.

It was Chu Zhenhe who swindled people out of their money, not him. He's just a scapegoat, so why is everyone coming to him?

But now is not the time to think about these things.

He walked back to the auction venue, stood directly on the auction stage, and announced loudly, "The auction continues. A set of border battle maps is priced at 300 million. Whoever wants it can bid directly and not waste my time."

Three hundred million?

Four paintings for 300 million?

The auctioneers, who had been laughing and joking, fell silent.

It's not that I don't have the will, it's that I don't have the ability!

At this moment, Cao Moran crossed his legs and calmly raised his auction paddle: "I bid four hundred million, including anything else you bring to bid later, no matter what it is, I want it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise.

Wow, that's really extravagant!
